I went to the doctor's office because I lost my heart. It was ripped out by this show. I loved it, but its so mean ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ) . Great show, Would watch again. This show has a great story about a guy who is pretty realistic, who remakes a band with the "popular girl" who he thinks is stuck up, but turns out is nice. and with an unknown person who turns out to be this girl he knows who is great with music. Tension builds as the love interests between the three build and start causing troubles. With a great love/hate ending. I thought the show was great.

Just finished this show a few minutes ago and I am already writing a review. This show is somewhat similar to "Your lie in April" but also has a very unique feel of its own. You dont need to watch the firs t"White Album" to enjoy this as they are completely different stories, and honestly I would say the second one is way better. Overall you need to watch this show, its one of the few anime shows ...

Just finished this show a few minutes ago and I am already writing a review. This show is somewhat similar to "Your lie in April" but also has a very unique feel of its own. You dont need to watch the firs t"White Album" to enjoy this as they are completely different stories, and honestly I would say the second one is way better. Overall you need to watch this show, its one of the few anime shows out here where the main male lead is respectable(In the sense of not a pervert, awkwardly super shy, or Super obnoxious. He is actually very relatable).

In a nutshell, the main character's (Haruki) actions, emotions, and reactions are entirely unbelievable, and because of this the plot develops into something unique. Albeit, unjustifiably unique.

Like I said, the plot is fairly decent. It stands out in the crowded high-school romance genre. It starts off with Haruki trying to rally a band together so they can play a song at the upcoming hs ...

In a nutshell, the main character's (Haruki) actions, emotions, and reactions are entirely unbelievable, and because of this the plot develops into something unique. Albeit, unjustifiably unique.

Like I said, the plot is fairly decent. It stands out in the crowded high-school romance genre. It starts off with Haruki trying to rally a band together so they can play a song at the upcoming hs festival. The first 7 episodes are character development, and they're meant to get the viewers to form attachments to the 3 main characters. The next episode is where the love triangle drama begins. Then up until episode 11 is fairly standard love-triangle-drama shenanigans. Episode 12 and 13 is where this show deviates a bit from the norm. Normally this would be just your average plot, but these final 2 episodes push it a little above average.

The characters... oh dear. The 3 main characters all have a false depth to them. None of their emotions and actions are ever expounded upon past the superficial level, but because they talk so much about these surface-level emotions as if they were something more it may fool some viewers into thinking they're legitimate. Each character can be explained with a single sentence and that'd be the extent of their entire personality :/ In fact, you could probably do it with 1 word

Haruki: people-pleaser | Kazusa: un-confident | Setsuna: ignorant

The music, it's very good... for the first 3 episode. How many times are we going to have to listen to the same 4 songs? For a piano aficionado Kazusa doesn't seem to know how to play very any works. That being said, none of the music is bad, there simply little variety in their song choice.

The setting.. lol. Japanese high-school. Nothing new here

Overall I gave it 4 stars, because I know a lot of people are going to like it, even though objectively it isn't that great of a tragedy, romance, or musical anime.

This is a short "review" of White Album 2.
You don't need to see the original at all. In fact, I advice you to straight up not watch it. It's horrible. Anyways, this is a review for WA2 not the first... but I will compare the two.

The reason why this is better than the original is that the animation is another level. The music is better than the first one (in my opinion) they do sing songs that we already heard in WA but the quality is better. The animation is fluid, and higher quality like modern anime. This is a song/music oriented anime but it's not like "Your lie in April" in the sense that without music they can't be together or anything. I urge you watch it. There's a definitive reason why things happen and why. You won't have many questions left unanswered, and you won't have to worry about people dying like in School Days. Have fun with the feels! :D

To keep it short. MC is trying to learn the guitar, in a club that most of the people already left. (I don't remember if they give a reasoning behind that or not, but it's for plot sake so I'll let it pass) The MC is one of those guys who sticks by the rules, seems like a stuck up guy but then someone accompanies his crappy guitar skills with the piano, and sooner or later someone starts singing. Love triangle galore, start!

This anime....when I think about it comes closer to reality than most love triangles, the harshness in this show depicts legit emotions...it blew my mind every step of the way just how far some people are willing to go is insane...entertainment wise each character struck a chord in me, I started to understand each person in their positions and relate them to my own experiences which for me rarely ...

This anime....when I think about it comes closer to reality than most love triangles, the harshness in this show depicts legit emotions...it blew my mind every step of the way just how far some people are willing to go is insane...entertainment wise each character struck a chord in me, I started to understand each person in their positions and relate them to my own experiences which for me rarely happens with anime for that I give this thumbs up and high fives truly magnificent work!!

I was a bit hesitant at first thinking it would be another anime that consist of pure fanservice because most anime consist of harem you really never get to see actual romance and drama being played out. Yet White Album is everything you are look for in a romance anime.It's definitely one of my top 3 favorite anime of all time.

Looking up the top lists of everyone's drama, tear-jerking, emotional, heartbreaking series I came to stumble upon White Album 2... a lot. People said that it was on par with Clannad and I thought to myself: BLASPHEMY! To me, Clannad was the high point of drama romance animes, especially the after story, so I came to WA 2 with high hopes yet low expectations.

First of all, I binged watched this anime in one day. Second, when I finished it I was so pissed off I was about to rant this " garbage" anime on the CR reviews. Then, I realized the whole purpose of WA2. I played into their hand and I didn't even know it. To me, I wanted to feel my heart breaking apart, but in reality it was me punching the wall from being mad. And that's how you're supposed to feel. This is basically School Days without the whole going psycho.

The realization that no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes really got to me and my eyes were opened. I can't base the review on how much I like the characters, the bigger picture is always more important. I still feel freaking pissed off, but the fact that WA2 made me feel this way proves enough that this is a true piece of work.

I only recently got into watching romantic anime, but watching White Album 2 converted me indefinitely! Never before have I felt so immersed in a love story; I found myself feeling for all three main characters almost every episode.

I only recently got into watching romantic anime, but watching White Album 2 converted me indefinitely! Never before have I felt so immersed in a love story; I found myself feeling for all three main characters almost every episode. The music and artwork is beautiful and has depth, the character development is great (although they only focus on the main three), and the romantic plot is simply amazing. The simple love triangle pulls at your heart-strings time and time again, pulling you further and further into the anime realm. I loved watching Golden Time and The Pet Girl of Sakurasou, but for me, White Album 2 trumps both of them hands down.

well ill start were i finished, the greatest weak point of this story.

THE ENDING!

honestly its a cop-out it would have been easier just to have it end on the airport but no...they had to take it too far...the end leave you hollow...wanting a ALT ending. the chars are too good for how it ended and on that note

Chars

as for the main trio its GREAT! anymore and its ...

Chars

as for the main trio its GREAT! anymore and its spoilers

sub chars are filler, nothing more except for 1 guy he gets more air time than the rest.

the char are mostly flushed out fairly well from start to finish

----

that is about as far as i can get without spoilers, better than the 1st i can say that much is for sure. another note on the ending it pulls at the heart strings but it shouldnt because i can see a way for them to work it out.

White Album 2 is one of the most frustrating, heart-wrenching, gut-punching animes I have ever seen. I marathon'd the entire series in one horrible, tear filled night. The animation is top notch from Satellite. The characters are so damned complex and jarring at times that you will feel what they're feeling.

White Album 2 is one of the most frustrating, heart-wrenching, gut-punching animes I have ever seen. I marathon'd the entire series in one horrible, tear filled night. The animation is top notch from Satellite. The characters are so damned complex and jarring at times that you will feel what they're feeling. You will hear the emotions flowing out like a stream on a rainy night. The interactions, subtle hints and plot reveals are just too much to take near the end. If you come away from White Album 2 come away from it knowing that White Album 2 has my respect for portraying love in the rawest, most innocently painful way imaginable. Love is not easy, it is not simple. It is one of the most challenging things there is, and can leave you scarred.

One evening in fall, with one month left before the school festival, the last member of the ruined light music club, Haruki Kitahara, looks out the window and plays his guitar in the direction of the festival stage set up outside. This was the simple little adventure that the conscientious honor student had hoped for two and a half years to achieve before his graduation in half a year. But then, when a flowing piano melody and a bell-like singing voice joined the clumsy sound of his guitar... ...more
